Update: Suspect in Seattle-Area Mall Shooting Has Been Captured

The latest incident in yet another week of violence was a mass shooting Friday evening, which took place in the beauty department of a Macy's in Burlington, Washington. A shooter opened fire between 7 P.M. and 7:45 P.M—reports are conflicting—and killed four women. A fifth man later died of injuries after being flown to a Seattle hospital.

The suspect, who was described as young, slim, and wearing gray, is still at large and was last seen walking toward Interstate 5. Authorities believe he was the sole gunman.

“Our hearts are in Burlington where a shooter has taken the lives of at least four people,” Washington Governor Jay Inslee said. “Many questions remain but our state patrol and local law enforcement are on the scene working swiftly to locate the shooter and clear the area.”

Shoppers poured into the parking lots in panic, and the mall went into lockdown. Eleven police search teams and two K9 units cleared the 434,000-square-foot mall store by store, looking for shoppers who were still inside—many had locked themselves into dressing rooms. They were taken to His Place Community Church, about 1,000 feet from the mall, to be interviewed by law enforcement.

The FBI has given their assistance to the manhunt by reviewing any intel that's collected in the wake of the shooting. Meanwhile, the gunman's motive for the shooting—or any relationship to those who were killed—remains unclear, though authorities say that there's no information suggesting additional attacks are planned.

UPDATE, Sunday, September 25, 2016: The sole suspect in the shooting has been caught by police and charged with five counts of first degree murder, reports CNN.

The alleged shooter, 20-year-old Arcan Cetin, was arrested by police Saturday night around 6:30 P.M. after a nearly 24-hour manhunt. Police apprehended Cetin walking on a street near his home in Oak Harbor, Washington. Police said that tips and surveillance footage helped them to locate the suspect.

At a news conference on Saturday night, Lt. Michael Hawley of the Island County Sheriff’s Office said that Cetin was not armed at the time of arrest.

"He said nothing. He was kind of zombie-like," Hawley said.

According to the New York Times, Cetin, a Turkish immigrant, graduated from Oak Harbor High School last year and lists his occupation as a bagger at Whidbey Island Commissary on his Facebook page.

Cetin will reportedly appear in court on Monday. The names of the victims have not yet been released.
